"I am just a stranger here, without parents, without friends, all alone!"
This inexplicable sadness turned into mist that blurred my vision.
"The firelight is warm, but my heart is cold!"
I miss home!
Ye Lisheng, unusually tender, pulled me into his arms and pointed his slender fingers northwest, saying, "The lamps there will always be lit for you!"
